About
If you feel bewildered by the rapidly shifting dynamics of legal practice in the digital age, you are not alone. The Millennial mind-set may be unnerving if you think that all things digital are mere add-ons to today's practice of law.

We cannot reverse the advance of the new work culture. Sooner or later, we must let go of pre-digital notions. The digitalization of the business environment is irreconcilable with our traditional concepts of reality. It calls upon us to redefine how we think and relate to one another. The sooner we recognize that a new era has dawned and leave the baggage of tradition behind, the sooner the new culture will become our own.

With such dynamic and rapid change, there are new expectations of the type of skills attorneys need to succeed. This technological and mental shift demands that lawyers not only adapt themselves to be adept leaders in a digital age, but to take advantage of the new opportunities.
E-Lawyer: A Guide to Legal Practice in the Internet Age will bring lawyer's attitudes into sync with the realities of today's marketplace, and help unravel the sometimes daunting and unfamiliar legal landscape in the new "Internet age". After reading this book, you will know how to:
* Navigate the new paradigm of law practice;
* Create successful digital relationships, and
* Build effective, modern leadership competencies.

PRAISE FOR E-LAWYER

"We are well and truly in the digital age,but in many ways, the practice of law has not fully come to grips with the new paradigm. To be successful in coping and thriving in the midst of these changes, attorneys must take a broad, strategic view, adapting not just to new gadgetry but to the mindset, economics, and ethics of the digital age. For those prepared to undertake such work, E-Lawyer is a superb guidebook."
           Trevor W. Morrison Dean and Professor of Law NYU School of Law

"A thoughtful book on a very timely and important topic. A valuable resource for anyone interested in the future of our profession."
           Eduardo M. Peñalver Dean and Professor of Law Cornell Law School

"Adam Newhouse provides a fine, sympathetic guide for how lawyers can thrive in the digital world. Unlike many critics, Newhouse champions the role of modern lawyers and finds predictions of the demise of the legal profession highly exaggerated. Still, Newhouse emphasizes that effective lawyers must embrace the new realities of the internet age. His core message is that collaboration, contribution, and connectivity are keys to professional success and fulfillment--and that the internet enhances lawyers' ability to achieve these three c's. The lawyer providing true value for clients connects legal and business advice and internalizes modern business culture and technology."
           Stewart J. Schwab Professor and former Dean Cornell Law School
